>le ebin depression meme xdxd

fuck off you fucking 16 year old you are not depressed

>>40148470
Different for every person, dude. Gotta figure that one out for yourself.

>>40148470

you have been depressed for a year? go to the doctor. if not at least start eating a plant based diet

>>40148470

This helped me:

- Weight training
- Cardio
- Eating clean
- Joining the local powerlifting club
- Starting at the local college
- Spending time with nieces and nephews
- Instead of caring about getting laid so much, building meaningful relationships with women even if just as friends (ironically got me laid more)

>>40148591

- meditation and nofap also. Forgot to put those on but they did help.

I'm still pretty new and only been lifting for a few months but lifting and eating better had helped with my depression. Having said that it hasn't cured it. I still have days where reality gets to me. I'm always gonna require a wheelchair. I'm always gonna miss out on stuff with my kid. I'm gonna always need help with certain tasks. It sucks and it weighs in me. However you gotta force yourself to look past the bad. Lifting will help but it's no cure. Its on you to contribute. You're gonna make it OP. Ya just gotta take it one day at a time.

>>40148470
how about speaking to ur doctor? or going to a mental health clinic? making ur self busy with lifting and other things will not make ur depression go away m8, speaking from experience.

Not OP but holy fuck man, I can't remember the last time a 4chan post actually spoke to me. You seem like a hell of a person.

>>40149239

>lose doggo of ten years to old age
>cry like a bitch night of and a few times over next two weeks
>rescue a new doggo that was found by shelter on side of road starving
>cleaned her up and spared her being out down
>happiest sweetest doggo that loves food a little too much, but always happy to spoil her every so often
>remember first doggo but not sad anymore

Life is a succession of doggos, don't worry about having to say goodbye. They were happy to be with you and you do good getting another.

This. I lift every other day, more than anybody else in my gym (curling 90lb dumbbells, squatting 4pl8), but damn man, here I am at 26, in a grad school program I don't give a shit about and totally and utterly lost.

Hop in testosterone lad fuckit yr already depressed

>>40148680
Your in a wheelchair?

I often find myself in the same situation. Depression often also hinders my will to work out, so... My suggestions are:
-get a Dog
-spend as much time as you can with close friends
-talk about it, not necessarily to friends (they can just get sick of hearing you talk over and over about your depression) but to a professional, psychologist or psychiatrist

How old are you?

heres stuff i do
>start a garden or at least grow plants in a balcony/window
>spend a lot of time with friends
>spend a lot of time with family
>always volunteer to help them do stuff like move or whatever
>keep up the lifting routine
>make sure ur sleep schedule is healthy
>make sure u are getting enough sunlight
>read books (i personally like philosphy books)
>if there is absolutely nothing else to do, play a video game or watch tv
>try to find little hobbies that u like (i personally like shooting so i bought a few guns and go to the range with my buddies)
>every now and then, look up a new recipe and learn how to cook it
>moderate drinking...

Second the gardening. Even if you don't have the space get some 4" terracotta pots or something from walfart and grow some cilantro or chives or something under a desk lamp.

Also:
>10k IU vitamin D + 4g combined DHA/EPA per day (pubmed it, evidence to suggest it improves symptoms)
>try cutting out stims like coffee
>be anal about getting 8+ hours of uninterrupted sleep EVERY day
>try to get 30 min of sunlight per day, even chilling on your porch helps
>cut out alcohol or minimize it as much as you can
>concentrate on living in the present, not in the past or the future

And if all else fails don't be sheepish about seeing a psych

>>40148470

This is my old school solution

Get a hammer. Even a small one will do

Now go find a comfortable chair. Sit down and take a couple deep breaths. Manning up Isn't that easy all the time, so let's get it over with.

Hold the hammer in your dominant hand. Give yourself a good hit in the nuts

Let it hurt. You could have hit harder, you could have hit softer, but this was just what you needed.

Now here comes the lesson. The pain will fade. If you have to repeat this lesson enough, you'll start to recognize when your actions have a chance of pain.

Then comes the greater lesson. Sometimes you'll succeed. It won't hurt; it'll be the best feeling, the clarion from the highest mountain. No matter how much life tries to kick you in the nuts, your choices are when and how it could happen.

How do I stop being afraid of change? I'm 23 and I'm trying to leave my job as a waiter. I've been working at the restaurant for almost 6 years now and I'm getting sick of it. I found a nice entry lvl office/admin job thats perfect for me but, the thing is I;m kinda scared to go for it.

I've only had jobs where I worked with high school and college kids. All those jobs were easy and chill. I've never really worked with mature adults so trying to act "normal" seem hard and I feel like if I leave I will fuck up the new job.

I have some college experience, I know how to use MS office, I have great customer service skills and I'm very organized so, I feel like I would be great for the job.

But the fear is whats fucking with me.

L-tyrosine, 5-HTP.

>Crippling depression
You lift, so your depression is not crippling. Stop this shit meme.

>>40148470
At least 30 min walk 3x a week
Fish oils
Sunlight
Cut down on the sugar, meaning eat normal food
Cut way down on caffeine
Stop drinking/drugs in excess
Sleep, go to bed and wake up same time

That's how I beat depression and it was so bad at times I thought I wasn't going to make it

>>40150974
Best way to stop being afraid of change is by changing.

>>40151129
To add to this, I found "depression is a disease of civilization by Stephen ilardi" on YouTube. Dude basically says depression is caused by sedentary and lifestyle and shit diet that causes massive inflammation. Following his advice has changed my life.

>>40148470
lol

>>40151129
Consider cutting out porn as well.

>>40148527

I'm in my thirties, divorced and my ex has my kid for 9 months, fuck off please

Do not forget mental health in your quest toward the natty limit. Socialize. Connect to some people on a daily basis. It'll help you reach your physical goals more easily, too.

depression never ends, friend
either you take it to your grave or you never had it in the first place

>>40148470
You can do whatever the fuck you want but the second you're alone and not moving around it's going to come back and hit you. The only way to move forward is to deal with what has you depressed and how it makes you feel. It is insanely hard to even admit to yourself what makes you feel that way and why, but once you can it gets easier. You just have to get there first. I tried committing suicide and I have a babby tier scar from it, what got me through suicide is saying to myself that I'd see what tomorrow was like. Take it from someone that's an OCD, manic-depressive who sabotages himself and has been seeing a psychiatrist for about 3 years, it's a lot of hard work and raw emotion but shit gets better.

honestly, theres no such thing as depression if you are lifting something and giving it ur alll.

learn to lift or learn to GF

Thanks bro, sorry to hear that glad your ok. What keeps me going is my 3 year old

>>40154329

I do lift. No need for GF, that just makes it even worse. Just finalised a divorce.

>>40154350

I eat great, I have a good diet and 6 day split I work on.

>>40150922
is this supposed to be profound? is that how you think you sounded when you typed that?

i seriously cringed my dude

>>40148470
go to shrink and start taking prescribed pills, that's the best way of dealing with depression

>>40149239
>realize we only get the gift of life once
>8 years or 80 years, it's not even a blip on the radar of time
>have the capacity to give another living being a lifetime of love and happiness

focus on the positives, friend. life is a bitch but your doggo lived out the entirety of his life happy by your side.

>>40151792
Find another woman?

>>40154899

totally normal to be depressed after a divorce. It might be that the only cure is time (2 years).

antidepressants are legit btw. I fell for a meme that told me they were a waste of time and for pussies
